“With Christmas approaching, you can feel the intensity of the whole experience, it's just getting warmer and warmer,” says Paul Hilton backstage at the Old Vic, where he is currently playing a very chilly, hunched and pinched Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol... who of course then finds that warmth within himself in Dickens’ classic tale, with the help of a ghost or four.
This returning production at the Old Vic is the lauded one written by Jack Thorne, with Hilton following the likes of Rhys Ifans and John Simm in a role which really brings out depth of feeling of Dickens’ tale.
